Real-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Maven packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.

Description

URL encoding error in development mode handler in com.vaadin:flow-server versions 2.0.0 through 2.6.1 (Vaadin 14.0.0 through 14.6.1), 3.0.0 through 6.0.9 (Vaadin 15.0.0 through 19.0.8) allows local user to execute arbitrary JavaScript code by opening crafted URL in browser.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency
  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for com.vaadin:flow-server. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.

  2. Fix

    Update com.vaadin:flow-server to 2.6.2 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-8vfw-v2jv-9hwc is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-8vfw-v2jv-9hwc is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Tailored to GHSA-8vfw-v2jv-9hwc. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
